VP Martin Demers of FleetMind said: "the smart truck project is designed to meet the demand for asset management efficiency in the waste management industry. In short, intelligent systems integrated with RFID technology can automatically identify items such as boxes or containers that are being used. After deploying this technology for many years, our customers have improved their service level and productivity. Now, the patents we own include the application of RFID technology in the industry. Casella Waste is one of the most forward-looking enterprises in the industry. This patent has further strengthened Fleetmind's leading position in the waste industry. "

The patent contains technologies and methods related to waste container identification, such as RFID labels or barcodes. The identification method uses an identifier to identify waste containers (read by using a built-in card reader). In addition, the location of the waste container can be determined by the GPS receiver. These waste container identifiers and their corresponding locations will be stored in computers or cloud servers.
